Freedom Legos™ (Coxsackie Antique Center, NY)
Today’s big antique store find was a huge can of Halsam’s Elgo ‘American Bricks’, which I’ve told you before predated Legos by a decade, for a really reasonable price.
I’ve just given them a bath here so pardon their modesty. Here, have a look at twelve of the sixteen pages in the brochure that came inside the tin with building ideas (the cover octavo sheet is missing):
A sainted friend who collected said his ultimate goal was the build this castle-sized house that was in the brochures which, Halsam quietly admitted, would take TEN cans of bricks. I only own about three so maybe I could do this house...
REmediaL STUDIES is a podcast by two nerdy ladies who just want to make the world listen to our academic opinions on the most nonacademic subjects. No media form is off limits! Books people call trash? Absolutely! Albums from artists you never heard of (or heard too much of)? You betcha! Movies that never got their box office due for being "too niche?" Where would we be without them! Television that you stayed up way too late to watch? We're right they're with you! Games that would have gotten you made fun of as a kid that are kind of cool now? We're your one stop shop! Join us, Hannah and Rachel, as we work through all the pop culture we can get our hands on and do our best to stay on topic along the way. New episodes every other Tuesday.
Join Hannah for a spoiler-free review of the weird and orange Factory by Elgo.
Hannah will discuss her own comics background, give you the DL on the comic's origin, and whether or not you might like Factory. Also up for grabs: the politics of dystopia, color theory, and Hannah's major beef with the comic Low.

Día 146
Creí que el último día que derramaría una sola lágrima por ELGO sería el viernes 31 de marzo de 2017, cuando decidí bloquearlo y eliminarlo de mi vida para siempre para así evitar tentaciones de volverle a hablar y volver a permitirle hacer mi vida de cuadritos una vez más.
No fue así.
Todo iba tan bien; creí haber gastado todas mis lágrimas aquél día puesto que, durante todo el fin de semana, al pensar en él no me dolía al grado de querer llorar por perderlo, otra vez. Las lágrimas no salían; sin embargo, el dolor en mi pecho sigue siendo constante hasta ahora.
Hoy me rompí otra vez.
Escribo esto con los ojos llenos de lágrimas que tienen un gran porcentaje de sentimientos de culpabilidad, tristeza, enojo, rabia, y la amplia necesidad de tener a ELGO en mis brazos de nuevo.
Quizás estoy sobreexagerando la situación, no es como si hubiese muerto alguien; pero el dolor en mi pecho es tan grande como el cero en mis notas por no concentrarme durante clases al pensar en él.
Recuerdo el último día que lo vi, la semana pasada, y lo que pensé durante las horas que estuve en sus brazos con perfecta claridad. Quería que ese momento durara para siempre; pues, de algún modo, presentía lo que iba a ocurrir. Él se cansaría de mí pronto y me lanzaría hacia el mismo agujero del que intenté salir antes de volverlo a ver.
Quiero verlo, abrazarlo y besarlo. Pero aún más que eso, quiero que me necesite, que me quiera y que me extrañe tanto como yo a él. Quiero volverle a hablar, pero me detiene el saber que me rechazará de inmediato porque ya lo aburrí.
No quiero perderlo, y el problema radica ahí mismo; no me di cuenta de que lo perdí desde noviembre del año pasado y ya estamos en abril.

Two cans of Elgo American bricks! And as usual, out of my price range.
ONCE AGAIN: THESE PREDATED LEGOS BY A DECADE SO THEY ARE NOT A KNOCKOFF.
